Cool! If I didn't already have those cds I would be loosin it right now.
One definition -is- the day after Thanksgiving in light of the retail market and the damned stampedes of multitudinous hordes to do Christmas shopping on that fateful day. But apparently there are others....Wikipedia has a few entries - looks like it generically describes several financial panics. A few entries here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday Here's something else from: The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001.
"Black Friday"
Sept. 24, 1869, in U.S. history, day of financial panic. In 1869 a small group of American financial speculators, including Jay Gould and James Fisk, sought the support of federal officials of the Grant administration in a drive to corner the gold market. The attempt failed when government gold was released for sale. The drive culminated on a Friday, when thousands were ruined—the day is popularly called Black Friday. There was great indignation against the perpetrators. Several other days of financial panic have also been occasionally referred to as Black Friday. |

You guys are only thinking about yourselves. What a great gift idea. Three awesome CD's for the price of one.
Pistolero and Dog in the Sand are two of my top 3 FB's of all time. Number one is, of course, TOTY. Those still weary about Pistolero should just suck it up.
I got Oddballs as a free download when it came out. Saw it at a show once, but didn't get it. Now I wish I had. Yes, I agree Bill, Oddballs should have been added. That way I would have given the other 3 as gifts. 
I'm still debating buying these as a gift.

This is great. I was going to get DITS for my brother's b-day anyway, but now I can give him 3 CDs and look ultra-thoughtful.
